Adjust the mower while tractor is parked on level ground or driveway. Make sure tires are properly inflated (See “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” on page 3 of this manual). If tires are over or underinflated, you will not properly adjust your mower.
•Raise mower to its highest position.

NOTE: Each full turn of adjustment nut will change mower height about 3/16".
•Recheck measurements after adjusting.
